So the question is, if the first Pixies release in 20 something years would have been these 9 songs (instead of Thwok, ep 1, IC, HC) would you have been more pleased as a fan of 1.0?

No. Because Black Francis doesn't scream the same way he did. Because the songs don't have that 1.0 manic energy, when they were all in their twenties. Because Kim's sweet voice isn't there anymore. Because the songs are more straightforward. Because the lyrics are less abstract. Because the artwork is not as cool as it was back then. Because they look kind of older, for some reason. Because the sky is blue and it makes me cry.
